Are you sure that song is about a prostitute? I always though it was about a particular woman that you were never going to get too close to - an unrequited love song if you will - gorgeous lyrics and very true in some cases.

She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice

You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget

She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

I'm siding with Kathleen i think - forbidden fruit and all that.

Not a great song IMO but it's lyrically competent, as ever with Bruce (well, mostly )

Aloha !

This song isn't about a prostitute, it's pretty obvious I think.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Prostitutes aren't mysterious...they're in yer face and simple; Vulgar.

sounds pretty prostitutional to me although the last verse kinda turns it round i suppose.

i've just mever got past the 1st few verses i've always thought it was about a prostitute and how there's a little bit of them you can never "have"

apparently... :-S


i'm just looking for cool slow dances for the wedding season because i don't fancy spinning amazed by lonestar every week when the wedding season comes round.

there's some mystery in the idea that they can actually do that.

i went to a house of ill repute in prague once and after the deed all i could think was: i wonder what's running through her head just now.
